The chase is about to begin. Mind you, a 250+ target was chased down only once in this World Cup. India need to score 265. Can they buck the trend?

Jul 06, 2019, 6:44 pm IST

End of Sri Lanka's innings as they post 264/7 in stipulated 50 overs. They must be extremely happy with their effort and the credit for the same goes to Angelo Mathews (113) and Lahiru Thirimanne (53) who first revived their team through troubled phase and later Mathews ensured their bowlers had a decent total on the board to defend. 250+ has been chased down in this tournament just once, hence it's not going to be an easy chase for India on this surface.

Wicket! Thisara Perera (2) mistimes Bhuvneshwar and Hardik Pandya takes a sensational running catch at mid-off. First wicket in the match for Bhuvi. SL - 260/7 in 49.2 overs.
